New ten Euro coin celebrates centenary of National Library in Germany

Germany's ten euro coin to celebrate the centenary of the National Library in Germany has been designed by Victor Huster of Baden-Baden. The coin features symbols representing various elements of the library's services, including books, letters, binary characters and clefs. A quotation from Stefan Zweig which is embossed around the edge of the coin reads: Bucher sind der Eingang zur Welt (Books are the gateway to the world).
